The third in our Business Across Borders report series, written by The Economist Intelligence Unit, and launched today, delves into the challenges faced by companies doing business across markets.

The report and video commentary reveal the varying levels of optimism about the ease of international trade over the next two years. Nearly one-half of executives interviewed feel international transactions will become more difficult, with this sentiment heightened in certain industry sectors (most notably energy and financial services).

While the report also analyses the causes of barriers to international trade, it also seeks to find the key to greater foreign market access.
